For generations, technological progress has been measured by one thing: the ability to process information faster. From room-sized computers to smartphones that fit in the palm of a hand, every major leap in technology has been driven by advances in computing power. The rise of the internet, cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, and intelligent automation all became possible because semiconductor chips continued to become faster, smaller, and more powerful. Today, however, the technology industry finds itself standing at a crossroads. Artificial intelligence is evolving at a pace that few predicted. Large-scale AI models require enormous computational resources, advanced memory systems, and…
